We believe in the deity of Christ. Jesus Christ is co-equal and co-eternal with the Father (John 1:1-3). Our belief in the deity of Christ is drawn from the testimony of the New Testament itself. This has been the belief of the true Church from the first century onward. The first church counsel; the Counsel of Nicea in A.D. 325, stated that Jesus is begotten, not made, and that His divine nature is of the same essence(homo ousios) with the Father. Jesus Christ is the second person of the Godhead, but He is also human. Very God of very God, and very man of very man. As the Council of Chalcedon in A.D. 451 affirmed that Jesus is truly man and truly God and the the two natures of Christ are so united as to be without mixture, confusion, separation, or division, each nature retaining its own attributes. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, was crucified upon a cross, died, was buried, and rose from the dead on the third day. He ascended to the right hand of the Father, and there makes intercession for the saints.
I and my Father are one. John 10:30 |
